Questions on Intermittent Fasting (IF)
Hi All, So I've been reading through as much Paleo material as I can get my greedy hands on and there seems to be a lot of support about why IF is a great tool in the Paleo belt, and then reviews that it's not so great (esp. for ladies). So I'm wondering for all you IF'ers: 1- How long do you go between meals? (including…

Gum
So I just started eating Primal today and I planned out all my meals, logged everything and was so pleased I made it through most of the day so far with no cravings/temptations from other things. Then while I was chewing a piece of gum...it dawned on me... Gum is not primal... Does anyone still chew gum while eating…

I can do a strenuous workout with the trainer(like this week).I worked my lower body and it wasn't until today that I felt back to normal,for 3 days it was REALLY bad!I couldn't walk down stairs. I wonder how much this has to do with diet as I am reading…

Anyone doing Insanity?
I just started eating paleo/primal about 4 1/2 days ago. I have had a hard time finding enough things to eat to make up for my Insanity workouts. Should I just start eating sweet potatoes to get in some carbs? I have been super low on carbs so that was my only idea! Any advice would be appreciated!

New to Paleo
Hi all. I'm just starting to research this a little further, but it sounds close to what I've been working on for some time and want to give it a fair try. I've had undiagnosed abdominal pain for years, along with constant bloating/swelling/nausea and lethargy for years. Cutting out dairy has helped some, and running has…

Low Calories
When you guys went Paleo, did you notice you did not have to eat as often or as much to be full? The last two days I have averaged about 700 calories because I just haven't been that hungry or having intense cravings like I used to before. I eat when I am hungry of course but was just curious if this has happened to any of…

Is there a breakdown of the % of calories per veggies/fat/protein? A little about me: 28yo Female Current weight: 163 Goal weight : 138 I work a desk job during the week but am REALLY…

Should I be worried about loss of appetite?
Since starting my journey eating primal, I've noticed that I don't have much interest in eating. Sometimes I feel hungry, but I don't want to eat and it's easy to forget about it. Other times, I'm simply not hungry at all. I'm supposed to be eating around 1,560 - 1,640 calories a day, but after about 800 calories, I have…

Corn-fed beef?
So, it's not financially ideal for me to go out of my way to obtain grass-fed beef. If I still eat things like corn-fed sirloin steak or roast beef would that be okay? I know it's not techinically "paleo" but it's a little difficult to get grass-fed beef on a lower budget.

Anyone else not need as much sleep?
Boy, all of a sudden it seems I'm staying up way later and waking up REALLY early. However, I don't really feel sleepy during the day. I actually feel like I have WAY more energy than before...I'm almost rammy. Is this normal?

TDEE question.
I just calculated my TDEE on fitness frog and it is 2,569. So to calculate how many calories I need I subtract 20% of 2,569? So 2138 calories if I did my math correctly (I seriously suck at math). I normally eat less than that. Could that be why I haven't lost anything recently?

I don't know what to do anymore
I am really bumming today. Yesterday I took a class at the gym and I am bigger than I was a year ago. I swear I almost left class wanting to cry just looking at my body. I didn't leave but I ran out of the gym as soon as it was over...then I cried in my car. I'm struggling. I did HCG 3x's in the last 2 years and lost 25 to…

Macros
I have my macros set at 20% carbs/ 44% fat/ 36% protein. I am wondering if I need to raise my fat a bit as I a struggle. Anyways, I normally will do a bulletproof coffee in the am, and then an avocado in the afternoon. What are some other ideas to add fat?

Gress Fed Meat Farms in NY
I am looking into purchasing some grass fed meat (beef and chicken mostly, but others if available). I have seen some in the local market where I live, but the prices are much higher then I expected. I wanted to compare prices if I bought in bulk and straight from the farm and see if that was a cheaper option. I am not…

Whole 30 starting tomorrow
I am starting whole 30 tomorrow along with my husband and two college age kids who are home for the summer. We all hope to achieve something different. I can't wait to see if eliminating eggs, night shades, nuts helps me with the pain I have been experiencing in both my hands and feet. I even took before pictures of my…

Cholesterol and fat
I saw this link posted on my FB feed and out of curiosity I watched it. Now while I have trouble listening to people talking slowly and emphatically (makes me think of an elementary school), the info is pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwkBB2Z6914&sns=em

All the almond butters even the ones in the health food section have sugar listed as an ingredient. Is there a brand out there without or are you guys grinding your own?

eating paleo with an infant.
Does anyone have an infant/toddler? I have a 9 month old who likes to eat what we eat. This is a bit more difficult now that we are eating paleo. I don't know if he can have the fat that I cook everything in now or meats like bacon and pork. Does any one have any experience with this?

Suggestions for fussy teen?
My 16yo is celiac and probably casein intolerant as well, though her celiac manifests as nervous system disarrangement, and dairy doesn't, but seems to damage her gut (in that if she eats too much she's queasy for several days afterward and has trouble eating anything at all). This kid has so many dislikes -- seafood, a…

Cheating.
I have been paleo for just over 4 weeks and so far have not had much temptation to eat bad. I have split a gluten free brownie twice with my husband and had some ranch dressing but besides that I have been pretty good except I allow chocolate and dairy. I have been doing low carb due to insulin resistance so I feel like…
